God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Lin Yanran had been the princess's study companion, and she grew up with the princess, so the friendship between them was extraordinary. In addition, Lin Yanran's fiancé was the princess's brother, so the relationship between the two was quite close.

"I..." Jiang Qingnan stammered, "But Lin Yanran is indeed not my aunt's child..." Sensing the princess's emotions, Jiang Qingnan did not dare to act rashly and spoke in a lower voice.

"Let's not talk about what Prime Minister Lin did. Yanran is the Third Prince's consort chosen by His Majesty himself. She is a member of the royal family. You are making a fuss like this outside. Aren't you disregarding the royal family's reputation?" As she spoke, the princess' voice became more serious and she glanced at Zining while speaking.

"Princess, I dare not! Princess, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Qingnan knows I was wrong." Jiang Qingnan realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this time, a maid walked into the private room, walked quickly to the princess, and whispered something.

The princess's expression changed, but she immediately returned to normal and said, "Jiang Qingnan, you go home and reflect on your mistakes. I have something important to do today, so I'll go first." After that, she left quickly without looking back.

After the princess left, Jiang Qingnan stood up in a panic. Perhaps because her embarrassment had been seen by everyone, especially since Lin Yanran, whom she hated, was among the onlookers, she snorted and left.

At this time, only Zining and Lin Yanran were left in the private room, and the atmosphere was awkward. Zining was still thinking about whether he should find an excuse to leave quickly.

Just at this moment, the shrimp and sea urchin soup that Zining had been looking forward to for a long time was brought up by the waiter.

"Sister, how about we have some together?" It seemed that the two of them had never sat down and had a proper conversation. Every day they were just distant and cold in their courtesy, or they would meet when they had dinner with their parents, but they usually didn't talk.

It feels unfamiliar, but now the dishes are served, we can't not eat. According to Lin Yanran's personality, she should leave immediately. Thinking of this, Zining gave Chunying a look, and Chunying took a small bowl to serve the soup.

After all, she is the third prince's wife personally appointed by the emperor, a member of the royal family, and the face of the royal family. (sarcastic face)

So noble.

"Do you really think so?" Lin Yanran actually spoke to her!

Shock!

But what did she say? What did I think? What did I just say?

Seeing Zi Ning was stunned and didn't answer her, Lin Yanran continued: "I don't care what you think. Anyway, I have never felt intimidated by your existence. I know my value to my father, and you can't threaten my position. Enjoy."

After saying that, Lin Yanran left, not wanting to hear Zining's answer.

Does this count as just leaving after making harsh remarks?

Speaking of which, Lin Yanran looks really confident. She never worries that Zining's return will lead to a change in her status.

She seemed to know Lin Wei's thoughts and personality very well, a utilitarian.

She knew her value to Lin Wei, so even if Zining, her biological daughter, came back, if she had no use and value, she might be worse than her fake daughter.

From the time Zi Ning returned home to the time they spent very little time together, it could be seen that Lin Yanran was cold and arrogant. She disdained to use any ghostly tricks to please others or win favor. She also did not embarrass Zi Ning or humiliate her. She did not have any of the tricks of the fake daughters in novels.

Zi Ning ate and recalled, but to be honest, she was not familiar with Lin Yanran and didn't know what kind of person she was. Besides, she was able to become the queen before, and the child she gave birth to could secure the throne, so she must not be a simple person.

Maybe she simply looked down on the original owner. After all, she was going to be the third prince's consort in the future, and that was a member of the royal family; while the original owner had already married the third prince in the imperial examination, and would continue to work under the third prince, so she posed no threat to her at all.

In addition, thinking of the wish left by the original owner Lin Zining, what does it mean to want Lin Yanran to have a bumpy future? Does it mean to make it difficult for her to get promoted or not to let her get promoted.

Unable to figure it out, Zi Ning went to the Lin residence, visited his mother Jiang, and asked her why Jiang Qingnan hated Lin Yanran.

But Jiang actually denied it, saying that Jiang Qingnan only came back during the Chinese New Year. In fact, she didn't spend much time with Lin Yanran, and when they were together, they seemed to be in harmony, with basically no quarrels.

Jiang Qingnan was just like the boys since she was little, climbing up the roof tiles, climbing trees and playing with birds; while Lin Yanran was relatively quiet, reading books, practicing calligraphy, playing the piano and painting, so the two of them could never play together.

It seems that only they themselves know what happened to them before.

Zining had dinner at Lin's house before returning home. When he got home, Li Yan had already returned and was staying in the study. When he heard that Zining was back, he ran to Yingyue Pavilion to accompany Zining.

"Ning'er, you're back. You've worked hard outside all day." Li Yan walked towards Zining with a smile, then put his arms around Zining's waist.

The more Li Yan got along with her, the more he felt that his little wife was a wonderful person. As long as he didn't step on her bottom line, she would be well-behaved and charming, and sometimes very cute, and her every frown and smile touched his heart.

In fact, it is mainly because Zi Ning has grasped the psychology of Phoenix men, that is, male chauvinism and love of face. As long as you flatter him and show weakness, you can control him. Isn't it just saying nice things? It doesn't cost money.

"Master, do you miss me?" Zi Ning smiled shyly. She looked pure and charming under the moonlight, with a hint of seductiveness, which stunned Li Yan.

Zining was a few years younger than Li Yan, so Li Yan was naturally willing to pamper her a little more. Moreover, Zining was beautiful, so even if he was a little angry sometimes, he would calm down as soon as he saw her face.

In Li Yan's opinion, Zining looked pure and sexy, sometimes like a lazy cat, and sometimes like a weak and innocent rabbit. No matter what, she was very attractive.

When he was outside, Zining's face would often flash through Li Yan's mind. When he returned home, he wanted to see her as soon as possible, stay with her, and never be separated from her.

"When I don't see you for a day, it feels like three years." Zining often guided Li Yan to say some touching words, so Li Yan was more and more willing to show his true feelings in front of Zining, and the two became closer and closer.

Li Yan held Zining in his arms, and the couple talked under the moonlight, looking warm and beautiful.

And what about our poor Chang'er? Poor Chang'er, although he was raised by Zining, but Zining basically tried to separate Li Yan and Chang'er, and even if the father and son met, they would not get close to each other.

Chang'er usually couldn't see Li Yan, either because he was sleeping or because he occasionally caught a cold or had a slight cough.

What's more, Li Yan had a young wife, and every day he only thought about her face and her panting on the bed. How could he remember that he had a son? He couldn't remember it at all.

Zi Ning was also wondering if Li Yan was really negligent or just pretending to be. This child was in so much pain before, but now he was ignored.

This is not Li Yan's fault. When Yue Niang was pregnant, Li Yan was on his way to the imperial examination; when Chang'er was born, Li Yan was still on his way to the imperial examination.

As a father, it would be strange if he could care about the child if he has not participated in the entire process of the child's birth and has not had the experience of changing diapers and feeding the child.

Chang'er became quieter under Zining's care. Chang'er used to be noisy, but now he would sit by the window and stare blankly, or play with toys quietly.

It's impossible to be the boss in front of Zining who's throwing tantrums like this. If you don't eat, you'll be force-fed. It's very uncomfortable.

Gradually, Chang'er also learned to read people's faces. Although the servants around him would take care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they were all rude. Looking at Zining, who was like a star surrounded by others, he also understood Zining's status.

Chang'er was gradually marginalized, but he was dressed neatly and had a rosy complexion, so no one would say that Zining treated him unfairly.
